The Open App Markets Act is a proposed antitrust bill in the United States Congress. The Senate version of the legislation, S.2710, was introduced on August 11, 2021, by Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). On August 13, 2021, a companion bill in the House of Representatives was introduced by Hank Johnson (D-GA) and Ken Buck (R-CO). The legislation aims to prevent Apple and Google, operators of the App Store and Google Play, respectively, from engaging in what supporters of the legislation deem anti-competitive practices in app markets. The Open App Markets Act is intended to protect the ability to sideload apps and prevent operators of app marketplaces from "self-preferencing" their own products. On February 3, 2022, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced the legislation in a 20–2 bipartisan vote. Background Both Apple and Google have been received national and international scrutiny regarding their operation of their in-house app marketplaces. In Epic Games v. Apple (2020), developer Epic Games sued Apple for restricting applications on its App Store from featuring other in-app purchasing methods. Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney had criticized Apple for taking a 30% revenue cut purchases made in the App Store. In July 2021, a group of 36 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the company abuses its market power through Google Play. In August 2021, the National Assembly of South Korea voted to amend the country's telecommunications law to ban Apple and Google from requiring developers to use their in-house payment systems. Provisions The legislation applies to companies with 50 million users in the United States that operate app marketplaces. Provisions of the legislation include: A prohibition on requiring that app developers use the company's in-app payment system Prohibiting the so-called "self-preferencing" of apps, where app marketplace operators allegedly advantage their own products at the expense of other developers Requiring that app market operators allow for the download of third-party applications Preventing app developers from being penalized for selling apps on a separate app marketplace at a lower price Support and opposition Support As of February 2022, the Senate version of the legislation, introduced by Blumenthal, has co-sponsored by ten senators. The House companion bill introduced by Johnson, H.R.5017, has seven co-sponsors. Ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee vote, the Open App Markets Act received support from the CEOs of 20 tech companies, including Spotify. A poll conducted by the Coalition for App Fairness found that 84% of app developers surveyed supported the legislation. The American Economic Liberties Project (AELP), an anti-monopoly organization, urged lawmakers to pass the legislation. Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn, a co-sponsor of the legislation, argued that the legislation would "take power away from Big Tech and give it to the free market". Opposition Both Apple and Google publicly opposed the legislation, with Google vice president Mark Isakowitz arguing the bill would "destroy many consumer benefits that current payment systems provide and distort competition by exempting gaming platforms, which amounts to Congress trying to artificially pick winners and losers in a highly competitive marketplace.” The Chamber of Progress, a tech industry trade group, criticized the bill on user security grounds, arguing that the sideloading provisions of the legislation posed a threat to consumers. Despite voting to advance the legislation in the committee, California Democrat Dianne Feinstein expressed concern that the legislation would disproportionately impact Apple and Google, both of which are headquartered in her state. Procedural history On February 3, 2022, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the legislation in a 20–2 bipartisan vote, with only Republicans John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) voting in opposition.

Samuel Woodford, (1636 – 1700) was an Anglican divine and poet. Life Samuel Woodford, born on 15 April 1636 in the parish of All Hallows in the Wall, London, was the eldest son of Robert Woodford of Northampton by his wife Jane Dexter. After leaving St. Paul's School he matriculated on 20 July 1654 as a commoner at Wadham College, Oxford, whence he graduated BA on 6 February 1657 (NS). Two years later he entered as a student at the Inner Temple, where his chamber-fellow was Thomas Flatman, the poet. He afterwards lived, first at Aldbrook, then at Binstead, near Ryde, "in a married and secular condition". In November 1664 he was elected to the Royal Society. In January 1669 he took holy orders, and in 1673 was presented by Sir Nicholas Stuart to the benefice of Hartley-Mauduit, Hampshire. Through the influence of George Morley, Bishop of Winchester, he was appointed Canon of Chichester on 27 May 1676, and of Winchester on 8 November 1680. He received the degree of D.D. by diploma of Archbishop Sancroft in 1677. He died at Winchester on 11 January 1700. Samuel married after the Restoration, and had several sons, of whom the youngest, William Woodford (died 1758), was fellow of New College from 1699 to 1712, censor of the Royal College of Physicians in 1773, and Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford from 1730 till his death. Works Woodford began his poetical career by contributing in 1658 to the Naps upon Parnassus of the younger Samuel Austin (fl. 1658). Of his poem On the Return of Charles II, 1660, Wood had seen no copy. His chief works were The Paraphrase upon the Psalms and The Paraphrase upon the Canticles. The first originally appeared in quarto in 1667, with a dedication to Bishop Morley, and was reissued in octavo in 1678. In a lengthy preface the reader is informed that the Paraphrase was written while Woodford "had the convenience of a private and most delightful retirement" in the company of Mrs. Mary Beale and her husband. He had been forewarned against prolixity "by a very judicious friend, Mr. Thomas Sprat" (afterwards the bishop). The object of the poet, who drew his inspiration from Cowley, was to give as nearly as he could "the true sense and meaning of the psalms, and in as easy and obvious terms as was possible". The result may be pronounced successful from a literary point of view; and the Paraphrase won the praise of Baxter in his preface to Poetical Fragments, 1681. In 1679 appeared his Paraphrase upon the Canticles and some select Hymns of the New and Old Testaments, with other Occasional Compositions in English Rimes. The volume, which is dedicated to Archbishop Sancroft, has prefatory verses by Sir Nicholas Stuart and Thomas Flatman, besides an ode by W. Croune, D.D. Woodford's miscellaneous poems include two odes to Izaak Walton and verses in commendation of Denham's New Version of the Psalms of David. An edition of Woodford's complete works published in 1713 is described as "the second edition corrected by the author". A manuscript Ode to the Memory of John, Lord Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, is among the Rawlinson collections in the Bodleian, to which library Woodford in March 1657 presented a map of Rome. Valentin Parisot, writing a century later, thought his poems had fallen into undeserved oblivion. References Bibliography Keeble, N. H. (2004). "Woodford (Woodforde), Samuel".

CSS Pamlico was a sidewheel steamer that served in the Confederate States Navy during the early stages of the American Civil War. Originally a passenger vessel on Lake Pontchartrain, she was purchased by Confederate authorities on July 10, 1861, and converted into a gunboat. She participated in two minor naval actions in the vicinities of Horn Island and Ship Island in December, before taking part in two more small battles defending the Pass Christian area in March and April 1862. In late April, Union Navy ships passed the defenses of New Orleans, Louisiana. After ferrying Confederate troops out of the city, Pamlico was burned by her crew on Lake Pontchartrain on April 25 to prevent capture. Service history Civilian service and conversion A sidewheel steamer, Pamlico was built in 1856 in New York City, and was based out of the New Orleans, Louisiana area. She was one of several passenger vessels on Lake Pontchartrain seized by Confederate authorities, along with Arrow and A. G. Brown. The seizures led residents of areas on the lakeshore to complain that the Confederate government had taken their means of transportation and communication. Shortly before she was seized, she had been advertised as making passenger trips between the Louisiana towns of Mandeville, Lewisburg, Madisonville, and Covington and the Lake Pontchartrain railhead of the Pontchartrain Railroad. At the outset of the American Civil War in 1861, the breakaway Confederate States of America was at a significant naval disadvantage to the United States of America. While the United States had a functioning navy, the Confederates had to essentially build one from scratch with limited infrastructure and manufacturing abilities. The Confederates began inspecting vessels to determine if they were suitable for acquisition and conversion into gunboats, and Pamlico was purchased on July 10, 1861 for that purpose. A small vessel, Pamlico displaced . Her other dimensions are unknown. She was commissioned on September 2, and placed under the command of First Lieutenant William G. Dozier. On November 21, 1861, and February 27, 1862, she was reported to be armed with two cannons, but she was also reported to have been armed with three smoothbore cannons and a Brooke rifle; according to naval historian W. Craig Gaines this could represent the addition of two extra cannons rather than an inconsistency between sources. Military use Pamlico entered active service immediately after her commissioning, patrolling Mississippi Sound as far east as Horn Island. Together with the gunboat CSS Florida, Pamlico was involved in an attempt to board the steamer USS Montgomery, which was part of the Union blockade, on December 4. The plan was to disable Montgomery with long-range fire from the single rifled cannon each ship carried and then board her; Pamlico carried around 400 soldiers for the boarding. The commander of the Union vessel correctly guessed the Confederate intentions, and Montgomery escaped into the open ocean. Three days later, on a trip westwards from Horn Island, Pamlico joined the gunboat CSS Oregon in confronting the blockading gunboats USS New London and USS De Soto near Mississippi City, Mississippi. The Confederate vessels fired at longer range with their rifled guns while remaining in shallow waters that the blockading ships could not enter; New London and De Soto later withdrew. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships describes Pamlicos involvement in the two December clashes as ineffectual. After the December 7 engagement, Pamlico escorted Oregon to Lake Borgne; on December 20, both gunboats were part of an to escort a blockade runner past the Union blockade that failed when they encountered Union blockaders near Ship Island. On March 25, 1862, Pamlico provided an escort for Oregon to the Pass Christian area. After dropping off supplies, Oregon continued east to scout in the Ship Island area, and encountered New London. Oregon returned to Pamlico, and the two ships advanced towards New London. The two sides fired at each other from a range of . A round fired from one of Pamlicos 8-inch guns exploded prematurely, leading Dozier to no longer trust the ammunition he had for those guns. After a jammed shot disabled the Brooke rifle on Pamlico, the Confederate ships withdrew, with Pamlico heading to Fort Macomb for repairs to her gun deck and pilothouse. The fighting had lasted about two hours. On April 3, three Union vesselsNew London, the steamer USS John P. Jackson, and the troop transport USS Henry Lewis made an offensive against Pass Christian. Pamlico, Oregon, and the gunboat CSS Carondelet responded. Henry Lewis was temporarily forced to withdraw when she was hit by a Confederate shell, but after an hour of fighting, the Confederate vessels withdrew; Oregon and Carondelet had suffered minor damage. After the Confederate withdrawal, the Union troops on Henry Lewis were able to land and take control of Pass Christian, including destroying a Confederate camp in the area. The three Confederate vessels took up positions on Lake Pontchartrain, where they guarded Chef Menteur Pass and the Rigolets. Some of Pamlicos sailors were taken on April 21 to help crew the ironclad CSS Louisiana. On April 24, Union ships passed the Confederate defenses at Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip. They then passed further defenses at Chalmette the next day, rendering New Orleans essentially indefensible. Oregon was sunk as a blockship, but the wreck later prevented Pamlico, Arrow, Carondelet, and the gunboat CSS Bienville from escaping. The four Confederate vessels ferried Confederate troops from New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain to Covington. Their cannons were removed and were sent to the defenses at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Pamlico was burned by her crew on Lake Pontchartrain to prevent capture, on April 25.

The Gasworks Clauses Act 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. Chapter 15) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which consolidated the law concerning the authorisation of gasworks. Background A plethora of Acts of Parliament concerning gasworks had been enacted since the start of the commercial operations in the 1800s and 1810s.

Irreligion in Hungary pertains to atheism, agnosticism, and secularism in Hungary. The tradition of irreligion in Hungary originates from the time of Austria-Hungary and it was a significant part of Communist rule in the second half of the 20th century. As of 2011, irreligion is the country's second largest religious stance after Catholicism. History Secularization in Hungary began in the late eighteenth century as part of Austria-Hungary. Freedom of religion was guaranteed in 1895, and 10% of primary school students attended nonreligious schools by World War I. Freethought gained a notable following among Hungarian intellectuals during this time, with various schools formed around on the ideas of Charles Darwin, Ernst Haeckel, Karl Marx, and Herbert Spencer, as well as influence from anti-clericalism and Continental Freemasonry. Following World War I, the Hungarian Communist Party briefly took power in 1919 and established a dictatorship, but the regime fell before it could accomplish its goal of state atheism. As a result of the Communist rule, secularism was widely discredited in Hungary, resulting in decades of Christian nationalism. Following World War II, Hungary found itself in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. Communists took power in Hungary once again, and with Soviet backing, they were able to implement state atheist policies. Religious education was restricted, church land was nationalized, and church participation in public affairs was limited. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 marked a turning point in Hungarian state atheism. Following the unrest, the Hungarian government sought to reinforce its position by improving religious conditions, and Hungary became the first country in the Eastern Bloc to restore ties with the Catholic Church. At the same time, religious practice was becoming less popular. Only 46% of the population identified as religious, and only 10% of Catholic Hungarians went to church on Sunday or prepared their children for first communion. Beginning in the 1960s, religious practice in Hungary saw a period of reduction. While religion had previously been a significant aspect of anti-Communism in Hungary, liberal anti-Communists opposed both Communist rule and clerical rule. After the end of Communist rule in Hungary, state atheism ended and freedom of religion was established as a constitutional right. The courts affirmed that irreligion would be also be protected as part of Hungarian accommodationism and that the state was obligated to protect the right to refuse religion. In the 21st century, critics have accused the Orbán government of attacking irreligion as part of a pattern of Christian nationalism and democratic backsliding. Demographics The 2011 census found that 23% of Hungarians are religiously unaffiliated, while 2% of Hungarians are atheist. In 2019, Eurobarometer found that 20% of Hungarians are not affiliated with any religion. Irreligion and atheism by county in the 2011 census can be found in the table below.

Khmer inscriptions are a corpus of post-5th century historical texts engraved on materials such as stone and metal ware found in a wide range of mainland Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Laos) and relating to the Khmer civilization. The study of Khmer inscriptions is known as Khmer epigraphy. Khmer inscriptions are the only local written sources for the study of ancient Khmer civilization. More than 1,200 Khmer inscriptions of varying length have been collected. There was an 'explosion' of Khmer epigraphy from the seventh century, with the earliest recorded Khmer stone inscription dating from 612 AD at Angkor Borei. Beyond their archeological significance, Khmer inscriptions have become a marker of national identity. Language: Sanskrit, old Khmer, and rarely Pali The languages used on Khmer inscriptions are either ancient Khmer or sanskrit while a few have also been found in pali, though the latter are no older than the 14th century. The oldest inscription in Sanskrit is from the 5th century and the oldest one in ancient Khmer is from the 7th century. Apart from the stele of Phimanakas, there are no bilingual steles in Cambodia properly speaking; the part in ancient Khmer does not translate but sometimes paraphrases the narrative part in sanskrit with more material and technical details. Inscriptions in Sanskrit Sanskrit inscriptions, from the 5th to the 14th century, are found all over Cambodia, and they are proof of the flourishing state of Sanskrit learning. These inscriptions exhibit the knowledge of different metres and the most developed poetic rules and conventions of rhetoric and prosody. Khmer inscriptions are more philosophical than the mangala of Indian inscriptions. Their language and grammar is also more correct than most Indian inscriptions. The number of such inscriptions written in ornate kavya style is the larger than in any other country in Southeast Asia. Khmer inscriptions in Sanskrit make us of the Shaka era and the decimal system in number first noticed in the 7th century, including the number O. Sanskrit is used in Khmer inscriptions as the language of the gods, especially for poems and prayers offered in their honour. Their structure is fixed: after an introductory invocation of the divinity, comes the praise of the founder or benefactor of the sanctuary before ending with imprecatory verses aimed at anyone who would not protect the premises of the temple and wishing them the chastisement of hell. Useful archeological information is most often found in the central part, which often reveals the name of the ruling king, and the dates of his reign. Inscriptions in ancient Khmer Ancient Khmer first appears on inscriptions at the end of the 7th century. Khmer inscriptions written in ancient Khmer are most often in prose and are usually a more or less detailed inventory of the offerings received by a sanctuary. These inscriptions reveal precious informations about the culture of Cambodia. Their content has also been found at least in one instance to match that of the Royal Chronicles of Cambodia. It is believed that the population expressed some sort of resistance with regard to the Sanskrit language, which necessitated the use of indigenous language to make known the royal orders and the charters which affected the life of the autochthonous populations. Khmer inscriptions use an alphabet stemming from Southern India. This early alphabet evolved into the actual form of Khmer. At the end of the 9th century, King Yasovarman I attempted to introduce a new form of script probably from Northern India but this attempt to not last beyond his own reign. Inscriptions in Pali Pali epigraphy in Khmer provinces is extremely scarce; only a dozen Pali inscriptions have been found, engraved in a span of twelve centuries. There is no trace of Pali texts proper in ancient Cambodian epigraphy, except epigraphs consisting of the formula: Ye dhamma. The presence of Pali in Khmer epigraphy effectively replaced that of Sanskrit from the 14th century onwards and it was regarded as a sacred language. Literary genre Khmer inscriptions attest to the existence of every type of ancient literature - scientific, historical, epic and especially religious. Religion The Khmer inscriptions written in Sanskrit are often religious invocations which reveal the influence of philosophical and theological conceptions rooted in Indian texts such as the Upanishad, the Purana and the Agama for Vaisnavism and Shaivism. Cambodian epigraphy provides a comparatively large and early documentation on Pancharatra and more specifically of its "five timely observances", as well as indications of syncretistic Vaisnavism which would be peculiar to ancient Cambodia. Khmer inscriptions are indicative of the prompt movement of religious idea across the Indian Ocean. One example is that the Indian philosopher Adi Shankara, who died about 750 AD, is mentioned in a 9th-century Cambodian inscription. Khmer inscriptions in Pali language, however, refer to Buddhist corpus. Legislation Khmer epigraphy records the use of a state court system to maintain land borders and to settle land disputes. Economy Unfortunately, the Khmer epigraphy does not provide sufficient documentation for a definitive view of a hierarchical Khmer marketing network, but only clues. Khmer epigraphy is never explicit about issues of money and markets. Instead of reflecting a transaction system adapted to a complex society, the Angkorian period inscriptions show less concern with monetary values than before. Markets and marketing in Angkor are first mentioned at the end of the 12th century in the Ta Prohm inscription of Jayavarman VII. Khmer inscriptions confirm that the Khmer empire did not use a centralized monopole currency but rather commodity settlements and various available foreign currencies, and that its economy could be described as a catallaxy based on exchange, as evidenced by the Wat Baset inscription. Sociology We know that only brahmins, kshatriyas, and servants are mentioned in ancient Khmer epigraphy, which can be linked to the idea that caste in India was used rather more flexibly in Ancient Cambodia. Medical treatise The Khmer epigraphy has preserved some significant evidences which directly mention medical science. Music and Dance In Khmer epigraphy, there is no such text as dealing with art according to Pou Saveros. Information about music and dance found therein is of an incidental nature. Among the many rites and offerings, many artists, dancers, musicians, and singers, are to mentioned to serve the gods in daily worship. Historiography The study of Indo-Cambodian epigraphy began in 1879 with the decipherment of some Sanskrit records by H. Kern from the estampages prepared by Jules Harmand. The publication of Khmer inscriptions kicked off with the foundational work of Bart and Bergaigne who published their classic Inscriptions sanscrites de Campa et du Cambodge from 1885 to 1893 with the help of Étienne Aymonier, who laid the foundations of Khmer epigraphy in his book Cambodge (1901-1904). Their work was enriched by the work of George Cœdès from 1937 to 1954, whose goal was collate the known data about Khmer epigraphy. Since the death of the latter in 1969, epigraphist Kamaleswar Bhattacharya has claimed that "not a single scholar has turned up who can read both Sanskrit and Khmer". Others such as Matsuura Fumiaki reject the claim that the field of Khmer epigraphy is moribund since the 1960s quoting the works of scholars such as Michael Vickery, and his study on the pre-Angkorian corpus, and Philp Jenner, and his study in collaboration with Vong Sotheara, as well as Gerdi Gerschheimer leading the project of the Corpus des Inscriptions khmeres. Khmer epigraphy began to be taught as a subject at the Royal University of Phnom Penh even before Khmer Rouge Regime. It was taught to sophomore students who pursued a degree in history, Khmer literature and linguistics. Today, the teachings have spread to many other universities including the private academic institutions. Ang Choulean's 2013 textbook on the old Khmer inscriptions was the first authentic textbook written in Khmer while Sotheara has also conducted studies of Khmer epigraphy using Khmer language.

Kondoth assault is a place in Kannur where there was a clash in 1930 over temple entry. The lower castes were not allowed to walk in front of the kondoth- temple of the Thiyya castes at Kondoth in Kannur. A.K. Gopalan then led a procession to grieve the Harijans and the Thiyyar Leaders and the Thiyyar women who witnessed this brutally beat A.K..g and the Harijans. History There is a place called Kandoth near Payyannoor. There is a public road there. But Harijans were not allowed to walk on that road. The inhabi- tants of Kandoth were of the Thiyyar community. Their temple was close to the road. It was because of fear of pollution of the temple that no one was allowed to walk that way. Anyway, in order that nothing untoward should occur, it was decided to discuss the problem with some of the leaders of the locality. K. V. Kunhi Rama Puthuval was sent to Vengayil Appukuttan Nair. The keraliyan of Kandoth were also invited. this day no one knows what happened in these discussions. Pothuval said that there would be a procession and no untoward incident would take place. A small group of Harijans led by Keralites had arrived from Pazhayangadi. Many marched together. Keralites and A.k.gopalan led the procession, which was attended by many women. Residents knew about the procession. So they made the necessary arrangements in advance. As the procession approached the road, a large crowd of people, both old and young, men and women, rushed forward and began beating A.K.G and Harijans. The women carried heavy trunks. The Keralite and A.K.G stood where we were and faced the barrage. The others ran away and escaped. A.k.g asked the accompanying women to run to safety. The attack lasted about half an hour. The "Connaught Short Stick" was infamous. Several people were injured. The Keralite and A.K.G fell unconscious. They were taken to the hospital by car. There we lay unconscious for hours. Even the death statement of the Keralite was taken. Taken home the next morning. This was the first physical assault I ever encountered in my political career. But he was pleased to find a prominent place in the news coverage of the "Connaught Attack". It was the best propaganda of the Guruvayur temple entry satyagraha. The incident opened the eyes of the people. District board officials visited the spot and inspected it. They set up a board saying everyone has the right to use the road. Police have filed a chargesheet against several people and registered a case against them. References
"Stefania" is a 2022 song by Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra. The song will represent Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 after the winner of Vidbir 2022, Alina Pash, declined to go to Eurovision Song Contest 2022 after being questioned as a legitimate participant of Vidbir. It is the third time in a row that a song sung entirely in Ukrainian will represent the country at Eurovision but the second in a row to actually go to the aforementioned. Background The song is an ode to the mother, with the narrator in the song speaking of good memories from their mother. The song initially talks about how much their mother has aged, invoking a nostalgic past for their mother. Afterwards, the song talks about the hardships of a mother, with the narrator realizing how much the mother has done for them. A "lullaby" within the end of each rap verse brings the narrator back to when they were taken care of by their mother. Eurovision Song Contest Vidbir 2022 "Stefania" was an entry in , a televised music competition used to determine Ukraine's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

A selection panel including the music producer of the show Mykhailo Koshevy and the television producer of the show Oleksiy Honcharenko reviewed the 284 received submissions, and twenty-seven entries that had been longlisted were announced on 17 January 2022. Auditions were later held at the My Dream Space venue in Kyiv where eight entries were shortlisted to compete in the national final. On 24 January 2022, the eight selected competing acts were announced. In the Vidbir final, held on 12 February, Pash emerged as the winner, but she ultimately declined her position after being involved in a controversy for having breached the rule barring competitors from having traveled to Russia or Crimea. As a result, Kalush Orchestra were offered to represent Ukraine in replacement of Pash. On 22 February, the band accepted the offer. At Eurovision According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

Louisa Murdoch Humphry (born 1952) is a I-Kiribati artist and master weaver with over thirty years of experience. Humphry grew up in Kiribati and now resides in New Zealand. In 2019, her work was recognised with a Pacific Heritage Artist Award alongside Kiribati artist Kaetaeta Watson at the Arts Pasifika Awards. In 2021, she was appointed an honorary Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to the Kiribati community and culture. Early life Humphry was born on Kuria (Kiribati) in 1952, she grew up in Kiribati and at age 16 was awarded a scholarship to study in New Zealand. While in New Zealand she attended New Plymouth Girls’ High School and studied nursing at Whangārei Base Hospital. At the end of her studies she went back to Kiribati for family reasons. After she got married her and her husband returned to New Zealand in the early 1970s. Career Humphry started weaving and learning about weaving as she was growing up in Kiribati. When she was in New Zealand as a teenager she saw woven war armour from Kiribati displayed at the Auckland War Memorial Museum and describes it as a 'pivotal moment' for her. Humphry has exhibited in Home AKL at the Auckland Art Gallery and Wunderruma at The Dowse Art Museum and Auckland Art Gallery. Some fibres she works with include pandanus, kie kie and harakeke. Humphry's exhibition in 2013, called Te Eitei at Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato, was an installation about a national icon of Kiribati, the frigatebird. With her close collaborator, Kiribati weaver Kaetaeta Watson, and the Tungaru project team, a study of traditional Kiribati woven armour has resulted in a revival of this 'ancient Pacific technology'. They were able to source string made in Kiribati for the project. The makers of the string questioned if they were building a house because they wanted so much quantity. Making the coconut fibre string required is very labour intense. This project was supported by Creative New Zealand and the British Museum, and the work was presented at the Asia-Pacific-Triennial in 2018. In 2019, Humphry and Kaetaeta Watson were part of an exhibition and events at the Dowse Art Museum, in Wellington called Ā Mua: New Lineages of Making. The work they displayed in this exhibition was Otintaai, meaning rising sun and is a garment for a women climate warrior, referencing te Otanga, male Kiribati armour, and taeriri, a Kiribati method for making dance skirts. The item is made mostly from the New Zealand plant harakeke (flax), as traditional Kiribati fibres are not readily available in New Zealand. This art work was subsequently purchased by The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, and is held in their permanent collection. As of 2022, Te Papa holds 11 items created by Humphry. In acknowledgment of their efforts of "maintaining, reviving and promoting a Pacific heritage artform in New Zealand", Humphry and Watson received the 2019 Pacific Heritage Artist Award of $10,000 at the Arts Pasifika Awards. Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery held an exhibition in 2019 called names held in our mouths featuring six artists including Humphry. It was about ways the artists sustain their practice, which is mostly outside of formal institutions. The exhibition also had work by Sosefina Andy, Nikau Hindin, Wikuki Kingi, Pacifica Mamas, Kaeteata Watson and The Veiqia Project, and was curated by Ioana Gordon-Smith. In 2021 Humphry said about her weaving and art practice:I love the magic that happens when you work and create. The idea is to know where all the skills have come from – our ancestors, who created the most intricate of objects to live and sing and dance and create the magic that is all part of our lives. Honour and awards In 2019, Humphry won the Pacific Heritage category, with Kaetaeta Watson, at the Arts Pasifika Awards, organised by Creative New Zealand. In the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, she was appointed an honorary Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to the Kiribati community and culture. Personal life Humphry is married to an Englishman, Jack Humphry, and they have several children who were born in New Zealand. They live in Thames.

Gerhard Gustav Ludwig von Maydell, Baron von Maydell, (; 1 May 1835 in Tartu – 17 August 1894 in Koblenz, Germany) was a Russian explorer, cartographer and ethnologist of Estonian descent. He is known for his pioneering research in the Russian Far East. Biography Gerhard was born in Estonia in a family of artists, as a descendant of the Baltic-German noble family Maydell. He went to school in Tallinn and between 1854 and 1858 he studied at the University of Tartu, graduating in 1859. Gerhard Maydell traveled to Siberia in 1859 to take part in the expedition of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society to the Amur Territory and Sakhalin Island as an assistant to Fyodor Schmidt, but he fell ill and stayed in Irkutsk. In 1860 he was appointed as an officer at the service of the Irkutsk Governor. He was named district police chief, serving in the Olyokma and Vilyuy districts of the Kolyma region from 1862 to 1870. 1868 - 1870 East Siberia expedition In 1868 Maydell was commissioned by the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia to undertake an expedition to unexplored areas of Yakutia on behalf of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The expedition consisted of a small party that included ethnographer Karl Karlovich Neyman and topographer P. Afonasiev. After crossing the Tas-Khayakhtakh range in the northern part of the vast Chersky mountain system, he discovered the uninhabited Yana Plateau, located between the Yana River to the west and the main Chersky Range to the east. Continuing along the Selennyakh River, a left tributary of the Indigirka, the group went with reindeers across the Aby Lowland and the Alazeya Plateau and reached Srednekolymsk. From there, the party went down the frozen Kolyma on dog sleds and in the spring of 1869 it reached the mouth of its right tributary, the Little Anyuy river. Heading southeastwards, the entire course of the Bolshoy Anyuy river was explored, reaching its source in the Anadyr Highlands and continuing in the direction of the Gulf of Anadyr, which was reached in the fall. From there the detachment headed straight west, reaching the village of Markovo. At Markovo the group split in two, with Neyman and Afonasiev heading northwest to the mouth of the Kolyma to explore the Bear Islands. Afonasiev went then southwest without local guides to a formerly unexplored mountain area, crossing the upper reaches of the Bolshoy Anyuy and Oloy rivers and reaching the Anyuy Mountains, as well as the Oloy Range and the Ushurakchan (Хребет Ушуракчан). He was also the first to map a section of the Omolon River. Meanwhile Maydell, heading southwest from Markovo, crossed the Penzhina River and reached the Gizhiga River in December 1869, being the first to discover, cross and map two ranges of the Koryak Highlands separated by the Oklan, a tributary of the Penzhina, the Ichigem Range to the north and the Oklan Plateau to the south. At the beginning of 1870 he returned by the same route to Markovo. In March, following a month-long rest, Maydell headed northwest to the sources of the Yablon River, a right tributary of the Anadyr. He crossed the Anyuy Range, reached the Maly Anyuy River and descended to Nizhnekolymsk to meet again with the other expedition members. In the summer of 1870 the group split again. Neyman and Afonasiev went up the Kolyma to the village of Zyryanka and through the upper reaches of the Omulyovka and the Nera they reached Oymyakon after crossing the Moma and the Chersky ranges. Meanwhile Maydell crossed the Kolyma Lowland. He charted the Suor-Uyata and Ulakhan-Sis ranges of the lowlands, reaching the Indigirka. Going upriver he found out that the Ulakhan-Sis was separated from the Alazeya Plateau by the roughly wide plain of the Shangina river, a right tributary of the Indigirka. Heading west across the river, Maydell reached Lake Ozhogino and mapped the still unexplored Polousny Range. Works Aus Transhbaikalien. - Baltische Monatsschrift, 4-5, 1884.

On 8 July 1959, six Viet Cong guerrillas attacked a Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) compound in Biên Hòa, a town about 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Saigon. Major Dale R. Buis (visiting from MAAG 5) and Master Sergeant Chester M. Ovnand (MAAG 7) would be among the first Americans killed in the Vietnam War. Two South Vietnamese guards were killed by the guerrillas. After the incident, MAAG personnel began carrying weapons. Raid The Viet Cong attacked the mess hall, where he and five other officers were watching the film The Tattered Dress. M/Sgt Ovnand was about to switch to the next reel when VC guerrillas poked their weapons through the windows and sprayed the room with automatic weapons fire. Several 9mm rounds were fired at Ovnand. He quickly turned off the lights and went to the top of the stairs, where he was able to turn on the exterior flood lights. On the stairs, he died from his wounds. Major Buis was crawling towards the kitchen doors at the time. Buis saw the attacker coming through the kitchen doors when the exterior flood lights were swithced on. He stood up and charged at the attacker, but was only able to cover 15 feet before being fatally struck from behind. The attacker, who was about to throw his satchel charge through the door, was startled by his actions and this hesitation resulted in him blowing himself up. The Viet Cong also killed two South Vietnamese guards who were on duty that night. Captain Howard Boston (MAAG 7) and the Vietnamese cook's eight-year-old son were among those injured.

Aspire Lake is the only lake in Qatar, located in Aspire Park, Doha. The lake serves as a sanctuary for several species of waterfowl and sea-faring birds, both domesticated or wild. Geography The lake is situated upon a flat grassland in the park, west of a large hill. Features The lake is divided into three rounded sections. In the south, there are two circular divisions, and the north, an elliptical body composes 75% of the lake. The sections are divided by two bridges, the southernmost being composed mainly of wood, and the northern bridge being larger, higher and composed of stone. At certain intervals, a large fountain may start to spray water arching above the wooden bridge at many points. The perimeter of the lake is barricaded with ropes, and there are two points in which the lake can be accessed via boats. On the west side of the lake, there is a cafe styled as a cottage, as well as Perceval, a statue of a Clydesdale horse with its right flank opposite of the lake. It is depicted with a carriage holding two giant squashes. Fauna The combined domestic and wild animals that can be found at the lake have caused it to become a common tourist attraction for visitors in Aspire Park. The lake serves as a “hub” for a large collection of species, primarily birds. Domesticated Upon the completion of the park in 2003, it was decided that several Domesticated animals should be introduced to create an artificial ecosystem within the lake. As Qatar does not have any natural freshwater, the risk of waterfowl becoming invasive was practically non-existent. Several varieties of duck, the goose, and the Muscovy were then released into the vicinity of the lake, and they have since been established. However, it wasn't just what lived above the water that saw focus, as soon, the aquatic fauna was to arrive. The only fish species that inhabits the lake currently is the koi carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus var. koi), however it has been proposed to introduce more fish species, which would diversify the environment and encourage migrating piscivorous birds to frequent the lake such as Grebes and Kingfishers. The ducks and geese are tame and can often be found all across the pathways in massive congregations, often approaching visitors to be fed. Wild The lake however, was not to be as entirely artificial as expected. Soon, many species of bird were drawn to the new freshwater habitat that had been constructed, and the combination of trees to find refuge in as well as the promise of food scattered by visitors trying to feed the ducks began to attract the smaller, shy songbirds as well as droves of pigeons and doves. Unlike their conspecifics in urban environments, they are often less skittish and allow photographers to approach them at closer distances than usual. The shores of the lake are frequented by migratory waterbirds as well. The most common wild duck species that can be observed around the lake is the Mallard. A single island exists, around off the northwest shore. It covered with a straw roof. A small flock of Great cormorants eventually found this island, and settled. Nowadays, they are residents and are found year-round. Gallery References Tourist attractions in Doha Artificial lakes Geography of Qatar

In the 1300s Robert the Bruce granted Royal Burgh of Aberdeen unusually strong rights over the burgh itself and the open lands outside the city. The land was valuable and so the boundary was marked out by the March Stones of Aberdeen, "march" being the word used to describe a border area. In their first incarnation the March Stones were large standing stones and the boundary line was augmented with cairns or it ran along natural features such as streams. Because Aberdeen is an eastern coastal town the line of stones only encircled it to the west. To discourage encroachment the bounds were regularly ridden around by burgesses in the "riding of the marches", the Scots equivalent of beating the bounds, but eventually this became merely a ceremonial matter. The area marked out, the so-called Freedom Lands of Aberdeen, lay outside the "City Royalty" – the urban area itself and the crofts just on its outskirts. One line of outer stones ran along the outer boundary of the Freedom Lands and a second line, the inner stones, was added in the 19th century, marking the division of the royalty from the Freedom Lands. The March Stones of Aberdeen were first written about in 1525 in connection with a riding of the marches. As time went by the stones themselves became marked for identification and between 1790 and 1810 new stones were installed with inscribed sequence numbers. Many of these later stones are still to be found and some that have gone missing have been replaced. Historical background The inhabitants of the Royal Burgh of Aberdeen had sheltered King Robert the Bruce and supported him militarily in 1308 at the Battle of Barra so in 1313 he granted the burgh burgesses custodianship of the Royal Forest of the Stocket, an extensive area of rough land just to the west of the town. although he retained his right for hunting and forestry. Six years later Bruce granted Aberdeen ownership rights over the Royal Burgh and Forest of Stocket for an annual rent, or feu, of £213 6s 8d pound Scots. The city burgesses later purchased three other areas of land: Rubislaw (bought 1379), Cruives, now Woodside (1405) and Gilcomston (1680). This land, along with the Stocket Forest, became called the Freedom Lands. In 1551 the burgesses obtained from Mary Queen of Scots the right to rent out these lands, by this time an area of some , so that they could become privately managed for annual payments to the burgesses. Hence these lands became the right and responsibility of the burgesses of the Royal Burgh of Aberdeen with the income accruing to the Aberdeen Common Good Fund. Boundary markers In the 16th century a border region was called a march and the first boundary markers of the march of the Freedom Lands were probably natural features supplemented with small cairns. The earliest description of the marches was in 1525 concerning a "riding of the marches", the Scots equivalent of beating the bounds. This greatly ceremonial practice had its origins in ensuring the boundaries were not being encroached upon by neighbouring landowners. In 1525 there was no standard system of marking. Any large earthfast stones might have incorporated saucer shapes filled with lead sometimes embossed with the city's seal or might have a contained a varied number of holes. A 1578 description of March Stone 1 says the city's mark was engraved in the stone itself. After the 1673 riding, several cairns were ordered to be erected along part of the line of the marches. March Stones After 1790 a new style of marking was adopted, one that the stones still display. The stones were inscribed with a sequential number followed by the letters "ABD" for Aberdeen. Aberdeen has two sets of march, or boundary, stones. The outer line surrounds the area of the Freedom Lands. The inner line of stones marks a smaller area: the boundary of the crofts immediately around the medieval Royal Burgh of Aberdeen. For this inner area, called the City Royalty, the stones were marked with an additional "CR". This systematic style of marking was completed by 1810 but the new stones were not always in the same locations as the previous ones. In particular, where natural boundaries such as burns had wandered, the stones were moved to match. Altogether there were 67 stones: the southernmost was inscribed Alpha, the northernmost Omega, 65 had a number inscribed and six others on the inner ring were simply lettered CR with no number. The distance from Alpha to Omega along the outer line of stones is about extending from the estuary of the River Dee to that of the River Don. Individual stones Cruickshank and Gunn, in their 1929 book The Freedom Lands and Marches of Aberdeen, provided details, photographs and a map of the individual March Stones. Their descriptions are accompanied by descriptions from Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen. In 2021 Aberdeen City Council produced an updated pamphlet with similar information. None of the stones standing are the originals but some have the original stones lying beside them. In urban areas some stones have been laid flush to the ground. The numbering of the selection of stones in this article follows that used in the publications mentioned. Inner stones City Royalty stones, from south to north: Alpha stone (marked Ά ABD CR) – at southern end of inner ring of stones where Ferryhill Burn joins the River Dee at its north bank. Listed as stone 66. Early 19th century replacement. Stone 1 (marked CR 1 ABD) – southern joining point of outer and inner rings. In 1525 "ane gret grey stane, with ane sawssir" but replaced by late 18th century. Stones 68 to 74 are inscribed CR but without any number. Stone 73 pictured. Stone 61 (marked 61 ABD CR) northern joining point of outer and inner rings. Omega stone (marked Ω ABD CR) – at northern end of inner ring of stones at the confluence of Tile Burn and the River Don, south bank. Listed as stone 67. Outer stones Freedom Lands stones, clockwise from south to north: Stone 3 (marked 3 ABD). In 1780 "a large earthfast stone". Stone 8 (marked 8 ABD). As recently as 1929 there was a saucer-marked stone. Stone 27 (marked 27 ABD). Called the "Ringing Stone". The distance of two miles to the next stone is demarked by the Brodiach burn. In 1525 "And frathin to the Rigand Stane liand at the Furde beside the Ord" but now replaced. Stone 31 (marked 31 ABD). The "Doupin' Stone'. Once new burgesses were "doupit" (dropped) on the stone which now lies beside the current marked stone. Stone 32 (marked 32 ABD). Beside the stone lies the original with a saucer-shaped depression. Stones 38 & 39 were present in 2011 when it was noticed they were very near to the then-proposed alignment of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. By 2013, and after preparatory work had been started for the new road, the stones (category B listed in the listed buildings in the parish of Newhills) were missing and have not since reappeared. Stone 56 (marked 56 ABD). The sharp bend at this stone was to avoid the Den of Kittybrewster ("den" is ravine or glen) which had been filled in by 1929.

Phalaenopsis corningiana is a species of orchid endemic to the island of Borneo. Description These epiphytic herbs have elliptic-obovate, rounded or acute leaves up to 32 cm in length and 11 cm in width. Strongly fragrant, cream coloured flowers with overlaying brown patterns are produced on arching to subpendent racemes or panicles, which may reach lengths of 30 cm. The midlobe of the labellum is densely covered in multicellular trichomes at the apex. The pedicel and ovary is up to 4 cm long. The specific epithet corningiana honours the early orchid grower Erastus Corning Jr.. Confusion with Phalaenopsis sumatrana and Phalaenopsis zebrina The darker forms of Phalaenopsis sumatrana are commonly confused with Phalaenopsis corningiana. In cultivation this is fortified through the rare occurrence of true Phalaenopsis corningiana specimens. Both species differ in regard to their callus morphology, floral colouration and fragrance. This species is part of the Phalaenopsis sumatrana complex, comprising P. sumatrana, P. corningiana and the questionable P. zebrina, which is treated as synonym of P. corningiana. These species occur sympatric (i.e. in the same area) and can form natural hybrids. While there is currently a consensus, that P. sumatrana and P. corningiana are separate entities based on morphology, this is not supported on a genetic level. The genetic evidence however seems to support a separate species status of P. zebrina. In addition it can be differentiated through its fragrance. Conservation This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.

Zebina Bartholomew Lane was an Australian mining engineer and politician who was a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council for the Metropolitan-Suburban Province from 11 September 1903 to 21 May 1908. He was also mayor of the Municipal District of Broken Hill in New South Wales from 11 February 1889 to 12 February 1890, and was the manager of several mines across New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Early life Lane was born at Moliagul, near Bendigo, Victoria, on 27 January 1856. His parents were Canadian-born mining engineer Zebina Lane and Irish-born Mary Kearney. Career At age 15, he managed a mine at St Arnaud, Victoria, later joining the Colonial Smelting Co. He moved to New Zealand, living there for eight years and working at the Hauraki goldfields. He also visited California in the United States, and lived in Ballarat, Victoria, in 1878. In 1885, Lane moved to Broken Hill, New South Wales, to manage several mines. His methods of management were tough, and caused friction between him and his workers. An effigy of Lane was hanged and burned in July 1892 during a workers strike. He obstructed an inquiry into lead poisoning despite his daughter having died of it as a baby in 1890. Lane was an active member of the Mine Managers' Association. In 1888, Lane was elected to the first ever Broken Hill Municipal Council. In February 1889, he became mayor of Broken Hill. He did not stand for re-election, and so was succeeded as mayor by Thomas Coombe (father of Thomas Coombe) on 12 February 1890. In November 1893, Lane visited Coolgardie, Western Australia. He floated nearby mining companies in mid-1894 in London. He worked at the Great Boulder as a consultant engineer and attorney until 1899. In 1895, a syndicate he formed floated the Great Boulder Perseverance mine. After that, he invested in jarrah timber and urban development, floating the Collie Proprietary Coalfields Co. In January 1902, he moved to Perth, Western Australia. He was elected to the Metropolitan-Suburban Province of the Western Australian Legislative Council at a by-election on 11 September 1903. He succeeded Barrington Wood, who had died on 24 August 1903. He had strong participation in debates at first, but was quiet after criticism from the 1904 royal commission into the Great Boulder Perseverance mine. Lane retired on 21 May 1908, and was replaced by Sydney Stubbs. Personal life Lane married Euphemia Leslie on 12 February 1878 at Sandhurst, Victoria. He had two sons and one daughter. His daughter died of lead poisoning as a baby in 1890. Death and legacy In 1910, Lane had abdominal surgery in London to have a silver plate placed into him. He died on 20 October 1912 in Berlin, Germany, during surgery to fix his plate. Zebina Street and Lane Street in Broken Hill are named after Lane. So too is Zebina Street in East Perth (an area which he developed), and Lane Street in Perth, Kalgoorlie and Boulder.

Single bamboo drifting or Duzhu drifting (Chinese: 独竹漂) is a sport traditionally practiced by the Miao people inhabiting the Chishui River basin of Guizhou Province. Practitioners either perform dance movements or race one another using the bamboo log as balance. The practice originated as a way for loggers to transport their lumber elsewhere, but gradually became the modern day practice. Description The practice involves standing upright on a bamboo pole as it drifts in a river. Practitioners then perform dance movements as they maintain their balance. The practice was described by "water ballet". As a competitive sport, participants use the pole as a means to race opponents. History Single bamboo drifting originated as a way to travel in the Chishui River basin of Guizhou province. The practice began among the Miao people in Guizhou province, which had inhabited the Chishui river basin region, but has spread beyond the Miao cultural sphere in modern times. Yujuan Liang et al. and Chia Chi Cheng et al. state that the practice originated a thousand years ago as a way to transport bamboo logs by loggers inhabiting the mountainous and difficult to travel region, as bamboo was an ideal building material at the time. In order to stay caught up to the bamboo, the loggers would jump on the floating log, and the practice eventually became single bamboo drifting. The rivers, which made the region difficult to travel through, were used by the loggers to travel throughout the otherwise difficult to travel region through the practice of single bamboo drifting. Loggers would additionally carry a pike for the purposes of balancing. According to Owen Fishwick at China Daily, the practice began in the Qin dynasty as a way to transport the valuable Nanmu wood logs produced in the Bozhou region via the Chishui River. Loggers would ride the logs to be loaded onto boats down the river to be sent to the ancient capital of Xianyang, as local boats could not fit the logs for transport elsewhere. The practice later changed from a necessity into a more casual activity in the Han dynasty. During the Qing dynasty, practitioners started using bamboo rather than wood logs, as bamboo was a cheaper and more accessible resource. Modern practice In modern times the practice has evolved into a performance art and a competitive sport, rather than a necessary means of travel. The practice of single bamboo drifting has entered use within the National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities competition. The sport was introduced in the competition during the 9th national event, held in 2011. Practitioner Yang Liu gained a social media following in Mainland China through her combination of the practice with dance techniques and traditional dress.

The Visconti Rocca of Romano is a Rocca in Romano di Lombardia, Lombardy, Northern Italy. It was built in the 13th century and expanded in the 14th and 15th centuries by the Visconti and Colleoni families. History The first castle was built in the 13th century at the north-western corner of the fortified village of Romano. The historical documents already mentioned it as La Rocca. It had a quadrangular plan with an internal courtyard and was surrounded by a large moat connected to the town's walls. Its original layout has remained substantially unchanged until today. In the first half of the 14th century, Azzone Visconti, lord of Milan, strengthened the castle. He added two other towers to the single tower of the south-eastern corner at the north-eastern and south-western corners. In 1428, when Romano passed under the Venetian rule, the towers were equipped with protruding apparatus. Bartolomeo Colleoni, who became lord of Romano in 1448 as supreme commander of the Venice troops, transformed the southern wing of the castle and created a large reception room (the Sala Grande) on the first floor of the western wing. He also raised the external loggia on the side of the south-western tower. During the 17th century, a new tower was added at the north-western corner. The walls of the primitive castle are partly built with river pebbles arranged in a herringbone pattern or mixed with brick courses. The towers of the Visconti era are made entirely in brick. The main entrance is on the eastern side, from the city. A drawbridge over the moat was replaced in 1803 by a bridge in masonry, but its traces are still visible. A secondary entrance, towards the countryside, was inserted in the south-eastern tower. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building served as the district court and prison. In 1969, the Municipality of Romano began its restoration. Today Today, the Rocca is the seat of the municipal library and the Parco del Serio. The Sala Grande hosts exhibitions and events.

Ngoa Ekélé is a neighborhood in the Yaoundé III district of Yaoundé, Cameroon. It borders the neighborhoods of Olezoa to the south, Mvolyé to the west and Melen to the north. It is separated from the administrative center to the east by the Valley of Death or Nkol Nguet. The district is built on a ridge that culminates at 793 meters, it is the Plateau Atemengue. Etymology "Ngoa Ekélé" is an Ewondo expression composed of "Ngoag", the stone, the rock, the pebble, and "Ekélé" meaning "is hung". Literally "Ngoa Ekele" could mean "(The) Stone (is) perched", "(The) Stone (is) suspended", "(The) Stone (is) hung". History In 1911, during the German colonial period, a so-called indigenous customary court or "Tribunal de races" sat in this place and was presided over alternately by Joseph Atemengue (en) and Onambele Mbazoa. The decisions of this court were severe. Hanging over the heads of the defendants, they fell cleanly like a cleaver. "Ngoa Ekélé" would therefore refer to these court decisions as "stones perched" above the head of each defendant and ready to fall on it. Population The population of Ngoa Ekele is mostly students. The students come from the ten regions of Cameroon, the population of the district is cosmopolitan. Institutions Ngoa Ekélé is a student, political and military district.

Shobha Nehru, commonly known as Fori Nehru and Auntie Fori (5 December 1908 - 25 April 2017), was born Magdolna Friedmann, and was the wife of former Indian Ambassador to the United States Braj Kumar Nehru of the Nehru family, and the reason behind Martin Gilbert book Letters to Auntie Fori: The 5,000-Year History of the Jewish People and Their Faith (2002). During the partition of India, she assisted in the transport and rehabilitation of women refugees, and afterwards founded the organisation Refugee Handicrafts, a precursor of the All India Handicrafts Board. Early life and education Fori Nehru, also known as Auntie Fori, was born Magdolna Friedmann in Budapest, Austro-Hungarian Empire, on 5 December 1908. Her father, Armin Friedmann, had a seat at the Dohány Street Synagogue and her mother Regina, neé Hirshfeld, was a member of the notable wealthy Bettelheim family, who made toys. As a child, she was affectionately known as "Dundi", meaning fat girl in Hungarian-Yiddish. Treatment of Jews in Europe at the time, led to the family changing their name to Forbath, which in turn led to the nickname of Fori. In 1928 at the age of 20, she was declined a place at Budapest University due to restricting the number of Jews, so her parents sent her to study in France and then to study English at Oxford, UK. In 1930 she met Braj Kumar Nehru, who was studying for the Indian Civil Service exams. Early life After learning some Hindi, she travelled to India in 1934 to be with the Nehru family for a year before marrying Braj Kumar Nehru in 1935, following which she was re-named Shobha. Thereafter, she was sometimes referred to as Mrs. B. K. Nehru. Their first son, Ashok, was born two years later, and another two sons, Aditya and Anil, were born within the subsequent five years. In Allahabad, she was welcomed at Anand Bhavan by Swaruprani Nehru, who was "already was quite old and fragile,".At the time of the Nehru wedding, Jawaharlal Nehru was in Dehradun Prison. She was close to Marie Antoinette, mother of Amrita Sher-Gil. Nehru later recalled that when she first came to India "there was hardly anything made in India. Isn't it strange that at that time no Indian craft was considered beautiful - only things imported from England and Paris". The wealthy women wore French chiffons. After the partition of India, on 11 September 1947, she became the only woman member of the Emergency Committee, chaired by C. H. Bhabha. She subsequently founded with Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay the organisation Refugee Handicrafts, a precursor of the All India Handicrafts Board. She recalled in an interview that with the help of Kitty Shiva Rao, the women refugees and others, they started to sell embroidered items from a base in a carpet shop, before moving to an evacuee shop on Barakhamba Road, where they remained until 1952, by which time she had moved to the US. In 1952 the shop moved to Janpath and came under the Indian Cooperative Union, and later merged with the Central Cottage Industries Emporium. Later life In 1949, she left Refugee Handcrafts to move to Washington with her husband. She visited Delhi in 1952 and was back in the US in 1953, using her time and influence there to promote Indian handicrafts. She was given art samples from the Heritage crafts village Raghurajpur, to take to New York with a view to promote sales there. Nehru persuaded Lord & Taylor, Macy's and Neiman Marcus to take interest. In 1953, she also met John Bissell, who later founded Fabindia. In 1954, she returned to India and stayed until 1958. During this time she worked as a volunteer at the Emporium. In 1958 she resigned from the AIHB as her husband was posted back to Washington, upon which she was appointed chairman of the Cottage Industries Export Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. Nehru was one of a very few close to Indira Gandhi that confronted the then prime minister of India about the forces used during The Emergency in 1976. In 1989, nehru and her husband moved to Kasauli, where he died in 2002. Letters to Auntie Fori (2002) Between 1958 and the mid-1970s she corresponded regularly with Martin Gilbert, a friend of her son Ashok from university days and later historian and official biographer of Winston Churchill. He referred to the Nehru's as Auntie Fori and Uncle Birju, and until 1998 had no idea she was born a Hungarian Jew. After Nehru asked him to recommend a book about the history of Jews, they wrote to each other regularly, and Gilbert subsequently published 140 letters in a book titled Letters to Auntie Fori: The 5,000-Year History of the Jewish People and Their Faith (2002) in answer to her request. Death and legacy She died in Kasauli on 25 April 2017, at the age of 108. Both Gilberts Letters to Auntie Fori and Gopalkrishna Gandhi's Of a Certain Age: Twenty Life Sketches, are dedicated to her.

Voicemeeter is a virtual mixing console and sound card running on the Windows operating system. It allows the processing of any audio signal - whether its source is physical (microphone) or virtual (application) - and its transmission to physical audio devices and/or applications. Voicemeeter offers many useful features for audio activities: VoIP users, video gamers, users of audio software such as VLC media player, Audacity, etc. Three versions of the software are available: Voicemeeter (or "Voicemeeter Standard") which offers two physical and one virtual inputs/outputs, Voicemeeter Pro (called "Banana") with three physical and two virtual inputs/outputs, an integrated recorder and additional audio processing, and Voicemeeter "Potato" offering five physical and three virtual inputs/outputs. Distributed according to the donationware model, the application can be downloaded for free. Features Virtual mixing console As a virtual mixing console, Voicemeeter makes it possible to interconnect and mix audio streams from many audio devices and applications thanks to the concept of physical inputs/outputs (for audio devices) and virtual inputs/outputs (for applications): USB microphone, DVD players, video games, iTunes, VoIP applications, Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), etc. Aggregation of audio devices and applications Voicemeeter makes it possible to mix multiple audio sources from different devices, such as a USB microphone or line input, with the sound of PC applications, such as a video player. Voicemeeter Standard offers two physical inputs and one virtual input. Voicemeeter Banana offers three physical inputs and two virtual ones. Voicemeeter Potato offers five physical inputs and three virtual ones. Mixing and real-time processing Just like a physical mixing console, Voicemeeter allows you to mix and process the different signals in real time with, in particular, equalizers, compressors and noise gates ("Audibility" button for Voicemeeter Standard), and gain controls materialized by vertical sliders. For the physical inputs, the Intellipan offers equalizers presented in the form of a two-dimensional panel allowing the rapid and almost instinctive correction of the intelligibility of the voice. In addition, Voicemeeter Banana has an advanced independent equalizer on each of the bus outputs. Multiple outputs The generated audio signals can then be sent separately to several physical (speakers, television, Bluetooth...) or virtual (Skype, Audacity, OBS, Twitch...) playback devices. Voicemeeter Standard has one physical output and one virtual output. Voicemeeter Banana has three physical outputs and two virtual outputs. Voicemeeter Potato has five physical outputs and three virtual outputs. Voicemeeter thus makes it easy, for example, to change your voice, add music and send all in a conversation via Skype or play 5.1 video games while conversing with your team. Built-in recording Voicemeeter Banana integrates an audio recorder, in the form of a cassette tape recorder from the 1980s, which allows recording bus inputs or outputs in WAV, AIFF, BWF and MP3 format. It is also an audio player supporting audio files in WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMA, WMV format,. Universal Audio Interface Voicemeeter can use Windows audio devices with WASAPI (WDM), Kernel Streaming or Multimedia Extensions interfaces and it can also manage an ASIO audio device (on output A1). It has one to three virtual inputs/outputs with all interfaces: WASAPI, KS, MME, WaveRT, DirectX as well as ASIO (to connect professional audio software to Voicemeeter). Voicemeeter Banana also offers a virtual ASIO insert driver to connect a VST host application (DAW) and process the various Voicemeeter inputs with software plug-in or any professional audio applications. Built-in audio device drivers Voicemeeter also comes with recording and playback audio drivers (giving the virtual inputs / outputs). Once these have been configured as default devices, they allow you to perform all previously mentioned tasks while avoiding conflicts between audio devices. Audio network The VBAN protocol makes it possible to send / receive uncompressed audio streams over a local area network and thus to interconnect computers without having to use audio cables. MIDI control The control of the main parameters by a MIDI control surface allows managing all the sound of the computer with a dedicated controller (Korg NanoKontrol for example). Programmable control and remote control Voicemeeter is installed with MacroButton, which allows you to create complex functions to act on one or more of the settings of Voicemeeter with a keyboard key (keyboard shortcut), a MIDI code, a threshold on an incoming signal (trigger) or an Xbox controller button (XInput). It is thus possible to change the Voicemeeter configuration with a single click and instantly adapt it to the different uses that one makes of it. VoicemeeterRemote API Voicemeeter can be considered as a system audio component that can be used by any application. An API called VoicemeeterRemote API allows read and write actions on Voicemeeter parameters and thus control Voicemeeter from a program to use it as an audio service or as a virtual sound card. A program can thus set up signal processing callbacks to process the sound in Voicemeeter. Any programming language can be used. Documentation Voicemeeter has a dedicated forum and a Discord server, managed by the development team and expert users. A detailed and regularly updated manual is also available for download on the publisher's website. In addition to the software's features, it presents the basic configuration to be carried out, proposes practical case studies and provides solutions to the most common problems. Video tutorials are also regularly posted on the Internet by Voicemeeter users. Distribution model Voicemeeter is distributed under the donationware model. The application can therefore be downloaded and used free of charge, without any limitation of functionalities. The user is then invited to make a donation to the developer, by selecting the amount of his contribution.
